<p>Today I'm loving studded accessories that are on the grown-up side (no teen angster pieces to be found).&nbsp; I like the idea of mixing in a studded piece (like the belt or flats above) into a soft girly outfit to give it a little edge.&nbsp; xo Ez</p>

<p>I've been having a bit of a mini obsession with metal studded accessories lately (I have another stud related post coming up later this week).&nbsp; Because of this I have fallen in love with these awesome <a href="http://www.singer22.com/lowstud.html" target="_blank">Stud Embellished Sneakers</a> from <a href="http://www.singer22.com" target="_blank">Singer 22</a>.&nbsp; If they were within my budget they'd be hanging out in my closet already...but since they're not I thought that perhaps I might try to DIY my own pair of studded Chucks.&nbsp; Clearly making these would take some effort...but I already have an old pair of <a href="http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=49910&amp;categoryID=1922&amp;sizeFilter=&amp;colorFilter=&amp;brandFilter=#" target="_blank">Converse</a> that I can experiment around with and <a href="http://www.kitkraft.biz" target="_blank">Kit Kraft Inc.</a> offers studs in all different styles and finishes to choose from.&nbsp; These <a href="http://www.kitkraft.biz/catalog/Silver_Cone_Spike_Studs__1_4_size_30-p-3834.html" target="_blank">silver studs</a> are only 5.50 for a pack of 100!&nbsp; Whether buying or d.i.y.ing is your thing...enjoy! xo Ez</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Inspiration Daily: 03. 15. 10</title><category term="Flickr Fanatic (photo love)"/><category term="Inspiration Daily:"/><category term="font"/><category term="type"/><category term="typography"/><id>http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2010/3/15/inspiration-daily-03-15-10.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2010/3/15/inspiration-daily-03-15-10.html"/><author><name>Ez</name></author><published>2010-03-15T12:00:25Z</published><updated>2010-03-15T12:00:25Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 580px;" src="http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/storage/mosaic70541cb67a179a55590746554581178746823215.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1268623727890" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Happy Friday everyone!&nbsp; The weather has warmed up a bit and it is drizzling outside my window right now.&nbsp; I couldn't be more excited for Spring's arrival this weekend!&nbsp; I've been noticing a strong trend towards earthy tones and soft cornflower blues in my etsy faves recently.&nbsp; I think it's interesting how we are subconsciously attracted to certain things at various times in our lives.&nbsp; I wonder why that is, don't you?</p>
<p>I hope you will all have a wonderful weekend and that I'll see you here again next week.&nbsp; xox Ez</p>
